Our friends had just discovered this gem in Denver right before we were heading to Denver for a…read moreweek, so we just had to stop in. It is a former theatre building converted into a bookstore which was formerly family owned. Eventually it was sold to Barnes & Noble, but under the condition they kept it like it was. So, you get a Barnes & Noble that doesn't feel like a Barnes & Noble. It was really fun exploring the place and seeing the layout of an old theatre, especially the downstairs area where they host special events and have a lot of clearance books. Kat was really helpful with a search for us while we were there. All the employees we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. We each picked up some books and got our Barnes & Noble's discount, which seemed like an extra bonus at the time. Very fun place. Pro tip - best parking is behind the bookstore.

I spend a good hour browsing around and left with 3 new books. It was one of the nation's largest independent bookstore, sad to see it was bought by Barnes & Nobles two years ago. Still has an independent feel though which I appreciate.

I didn't think to bring a reusable cup with me so I was left to purchase a to go jar as part of my coffee purchase. The coffee is more for die hard coffee lovers where I found it a bit bitter, but that's just my personal preference and should not deter you. It was also a higher price than the other shops in town but there's the rising cost of coffee and it's Colorado where stuff just costs more. Overall cool neighborhood spot and the baristas are knowledgeable.

What can I say? Sometimes you just have to find yourself a nice hookah spot to unwind, relax, enjoy…read moresome great conversation over hot tea. Mevlana delivered that! The quality of hookah equipment to shisha is incredible here and the way they served us our tea with the candle warmer keeping it up to temperature for us was the cherry on top of the experience. We visited on a weekday and enjoyed the laid back vibes allowing us to chat, smoke, and sip our woes away. This is a fantastic spot for folks also looking to work from home / finish up schoolwork, etc. to come. The environment feels peaceful and the decor adds to the ambiance. We will be back!

Wow! I attended a Valentine's Manifestation event here in Feb, the literal evening before their…read moredemolition of the cafe! I got a final smoothie there! Sacred Society is beautiful inside with a lot of gorgeous giant plants and ginormous crystals! They have a retail store inside, but no more cafe. They said they were renovating to be able to host more space for wellness and treatments. I love a wellness cafe tho! The Valentine's Manifestation event was in a gorgeous room that was lined with large crystals, plants, white speakers and a water feature. The workshop was nice. I do want to return to experience a soundbath but I've never paid $60 for a soundbath in a commercial space before! It does seem ultra-professionally outfitted and acoustically specific so it may totally be worth it! I hope to go back soon! They did have a nice variety to oracle cards in their shop, but while they had a bunch of Rebecca Campbell decks, I would have liked to purchase her latest one, but that was not available in the shop.

I parked in the neighborhood behind them because there were no areas in front of the business to park. Anyways, I go in and the atmosphere is so warm and vibrant! Lots of plants, colors, and there is even a mini boutique on the front end of the place. I ordered one of their toast options. Super delicious, warm, and flavorful--also decently priced at $4.00! Service was great too. The one staff was friendly and walked me through the menu. The restrooms require a code. They were super clean and smelled good. Plenty of seating throughout the place. If I were to have a complaint is that a lot of their QR code links they had throughout their business were not working. The business seems new and it looks like the owners are still finishing some touches but overall--great place! I'll be coming back to explore the rest of the items on their menu.

They have plenty of options for seating and working, which is great if you need somewhere to "work from home" or study! Their vanilla chai latte might be my favorite I've ever had, and I love their cute mugs! Did I mention they even have a shelf of games that you can use while you hang? Definitely worth the visit, whether popping in for a coffee or ice cream or hanging out all Sunday!

The latte was ok, but oddly a bit weak…read more The Ciabatta was a welcome alternative to toast. The ambiance is a funky cook. Some nice tables for working. Some comfy chairs. A very nice setup on the porch Service is a bit slow and definitely lacks enthusiasm. Worth the bike ride

We checked out Hoja for breakfast on a Saturday and loved it. There is a covered, heated patio in…read morethe back that is clean, warm in chilly weather, and dog friendly. I ordered a daily special, the Chupa Cabra burrito, made gluten free. (They use 4 corn tortillas in place of the flour wrap.) Kids ordered waffles, and I also got the almond chai. ALL were delicious (the photos don't do it justice.) I ate most of my burrito but left room for a gluten free Tahini Blondie. When we left at 10:15, more customers were heading in for brunch. I can tell this is a neighborhood favorite, especially by their Hall of Fame (dozens of Polaroids up on the wall of local pups). This place is good for a date, or family outing, or just grab and go. I wish we lived closer, we would eat here a bunch!

Kind of hidden in between Duffys and smaller offices, Hoja packs a punch of taste and flavor with authentic Mexican cuisine. Try the Pazole.

Plus, the calzones are simply fantastic. I asked the twins where they wanted to go for dinner on their birthday and they both said, "The Afterburner". We walked in and were met by Hillary, one of the owners. She treated us like gold and chatted us up the entire time she was making our calzones. When we sat down with our beer and calzones, we were impressed by the sheer quantity of ingredients Hillary managed to jam into our calzones. It was my first experience with Franks Hot Sauce and that shit is addictive good. When Hillary found out if was their birthday, she gifted them both a huge chocolate chip cookie a piece. About halfway through our meal, the other owner walked in. His name is Ben. He chatted us up for an hour about planes and other such aviation oriented things. My sons had an absolute blast talking to Ben and bullshitting about all things military. The aviation theme and the references to TopGun make this place tons of fun. Thank you Hillary and Ben for making their birthday dinner incredible.

I rarely ever leave bad reviews, but this was the worst experience I've had in my entire life, and…read moreI've been EVERYWHERE. I was harassed to order and accused of using their wifi for free. I've never been treated with such poor customer service. Here is what happened: I walked into this tiny shop with 4-5 people in line. There was nowhere to stand so I took a spot in the corner to wait. I waited around 10 minutes for the line to go down; but I had already hopped into an important work call. My large (over the ear) headphones were on, yet the owner (or worker?) approached me and basically snapped his fingers at me asking what I wanted to order. I said I will order in a few minutes as I'm wrapping up an EXTREMELY important work item/call that cannot be interrupted. He came BACK 30 seconds later to tell me I need to order to sit there. I already have been having the worst day (I won't get into it) so I stood up and said I will no longer be ordering as I don't want to give a business who operates this way my money. I went outside to the table because I was unable to stop my work- he screamed that I need to order to use their wifi. I said "I'm on my phone's hotspot". He followed me out to point to the sign that says order to sit. I literally moved to the floor and this guy starts packing up all of the tables and chairs. They closed in 30 minutes so it appeared as if they wanted me to leave so they can close early since I was the only one in their shop. Then I heard him talking and laughing about me to the shop owner next door (recovering hipster) who loudly said "welcome to colfax" as if I'm a homeless person (there was one sitting on the curb 15 feet away btw!!). I was wearing my full suit and pant work outfit. WTF?? TLDR; they harassed me to order and accused me of using their wifi (I was on my phones hotspot btw- I've never been here to get their wifi password) all within me sitting there for less than a minute after the line died down. Extremely unprofessional and/or racist??? Never in my life have I been treated so poorly. Disgraceful. They proceeded to record me as if I was doing something illegal. I wonder if I am able to seek legal action about this, because how is this acceptable for a business to operate in such a way...Also- this place was extremely dirty, but that's the least worrisome thing here.
